AFTER A WHILE...

After a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security.
And you learn to understand that kisses aren't promises
And you begin to accept defeats with your head held up high and your eyes open,
with the grace of a woman, not a grief of a child.
You learn to build up your own road of today
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain
And the future has a way of falling down in midflights
After a while you learn that sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
That you really are strong
And that you really have worth
And that you keep learning
with every goodbye...
YOU LEARN......
